[clamav-users] Where can I download daily.cvd, bytecode.cvd and main.cvd from?

[Joel Esler]

No. It would not.  Wget and curl create disasters for the ClamAV team on the server side, which is why it was stopped. There are still people abusing that system, and when I was at cisco I would block people for doing it.  If people would use the tools they are supposed to, that are designed to be network friendly, the problems wouldn’t exist.

It would be so much easier to be able to use curl, wget or any browser to get the sigs so we can package them directly - not have to install some uncommon download package and then download them. That is making people jump through unnecessary hoops. I am not trying use a segmented network and hosts can generally reach the internet. I just want to be able to package the sigs in a v0.103.5 rpm for my distro in the same way as EPEL does.

We want to be able to distribute a package which, in emergency, can be transferred to a standalone (read compromised device removed from the network) and have the rpm install something which can directly virus scan. Without the three files, it can't. I presume that is similar logic to EPEL.
